Bacon-wrapped Stuffed Dates
Sweet and savoury stuffed dates are easy and quick to prepare. They’re the perfect appetizer for special occasions.
Yield: 12 servings
INGREDIENTS
12 Medjool dates
6 pieces of bacon
2-4 ounces of goat cheese, or blue cheese, if you prefer
12 whole walnuts
12 pre-soaked toothpicks
Medjool dates are meaty, luscious and sweet, and contain a small pit. Get a potassium and fiber nutrient boost in every bite.
DIRECTIONS
1. Soak toothpicks in water for at least 20 minutes (to prevent burning in the oven).
2. Preheat oven to 450°F and grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray, or line with parchment paper.
3. Slice open dates lengthwise, remove the pits (you want the halves to remain together so just slice enough to remove pit), and stuff with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon goat cheese. Insert one walnut into each date.
4. Cut 6 pieces of bacon in half so you have 12 pieces total.
5. Wrap each date with a piece of bacon, and secure using a toothpick.
6. Place the bacon wrapped dates on the baking sheet. Bake for 14–17 minutes, turning a few times during cooking to ensure the bacon is evenly browned.
7. Allow dates to cool for 5-8 minutes before serving.

Stress management for beginners
By Stephanie Simons,
Head Pharmacist,

November is Stress Awareness Month so I thought I would take some time to address stress and how we can best manage it.
“Stress” has become a word that we all throw around but we sometimes forget the true meaning of it. I’m sure we’ve all told our friends that we’re a bit stressed and laughed it off. But despite the flippant way that we might refer to it, stress is a real problem for a lot of people and it can have serious repercussions.
Those who live with prolonged stress put themselves at risk for a number of health problems, including:
- Fatigue/exhaustion
- Irritability
- Poor concentration
- Difficulty sleeping
- Aches and pains
- Headaches
- Stomach and digestive problems
Stress can be caused by any number of things, whether it is work pressure, financial concerns, relationship issues or a high-pressure event looming. There is even evidence to suggest that not getting enough magnesium or vitamin B can cause stress. (more…)
